    I use Pricewatch to find product pricing. But they don't show everything, you should search other places (I google after I pricewatch).

    Check Anandtech for product reviews.

    I also check the Fatwallet "Hot Deals" forum sometimes for computer parts. Sometimes you can get lucky.

    And I try to shop at Newegg (dependable shipping so far), But I will go where the best deal is.
    Logic is the art of being wrong with confidence.

    Because I live in Portugal, and alot of stuff takes 6 to 12 months to be distributed here (or sometimes it never reaches the country, AMD Opterons are one example) I have to order from the closest places around me, UK and Spain mostly.
    Another problem is that most online stores don't ship abroad, so that makes it even more difficult to get parts to be shipped to Portugal.

    For PC Parts I've recently ordered stuff from here:
    http://specialtech.co.uk/

    And for accessories for my Nintendo DS I ordered from here:
    http://www.divineo.es/

    I'm quite happy with both so far

    I buy most all of my parts off Ebay...check reviews and pricing elsewhere to see if I'm getting a deal or not. I have only got screwed twice in 198 purchases, I got a bad xp3200 processor and a bad Shuttle MB. Both I waited too long to test them to send them back.....the XP cpu boots but will not fire up at 3200 specs no matter what I do, but I have not tried more voltage.Overall a very good buying experience...

    Newegg, Newegg, and then I try Newegg. Prices are fair and they have a customer support group that I would expect from a top level store. If the problem is that I ordered the wrong part they even paid the return shipping, if it's a doa board they paid return shipping and gave me overnight on the reship.

    I have been using Newegg for about 2 years now. Good prices and fast shipping.

    I mostly use http://[URL="http://www.azerty.nl"]www.azerty.nl[/URL]
    I also use http://tweakers.net/pricewatch with azerty hardware to look for the cheapest prices in holldna. mostly azerty is one of the cheapest. My speakers (Creative Progamer G500, 320 watts of RMS power and THX certified) came from there and they were half the Belgian price. Thats the store that has the Sapphire HD2900XT for around 340 euros (at least they did when I last checked)
